About Tascam FW1884 FireWire Control Surface Interface

Tascam FW1884 FireWire Control Surface Interface by Instrument Pro - Tascam FW 1884 Tascam FW 1884 The FW 1884 is a professional DAW control surface and audioMIDI interface that uses the FireWire high speed data transfer protocol. With FireWires high bandwidth capabilities, the FW 1884 provides audio and MIDI interfacing to computers as well as control of DAW parameters via eight 100mm motorized touch sensitive channel faders, one master fader, and controls for pan, solo, mute and select functions on each channel. Tactile control for four bands of parametric EQ, a jogshuttle wheel and a variety of shortcut keys for various popular software applications are also included. Co designed by TASCAM and Frontier Design Group, the FW 1884s DAW control capabilities include comprehensive mixing, automation, editing and navigation tools. Steinbergs Cubase LE in included free a 48 track, 96kHz professional recording workstation. An included application, SoftLCD, shows the assignment of the channel strip of your computer monitor. In addition to its surface control capabilities, the FW 1884 provides eight balanced XLR analog micline inputs with high quality mic preamps, phantom power and inserts on every channel. These mic pres are the culmination of TASCAMs 30 year history of producing great sounding, reliable equipment for home and professional studios alike. The mic input circuit uses a hybrid design combining the best of discrete and IC based circuitry for 54dB of gain, wide dynamic range and natural response. The mic inputs have phantom power assignable in groups of four and include an analog insert on each channel for inserting outboard signal processing. The result is a clean preamp design with a frequency response of 20Hz to 40kHz 0.5 1.0dB and a noise level of 124dBuEIN, ideal for recording at 96kHz24 bit resolution. Using 24 bit96kHz AD and DA converters, the FW 1884 offers full 96kHz operation on all analog IO channels with compatible DAW software. In addition to its two FireWire IEEE 1394 computer interfaces, the FW 1884 gives users eight channels of ADAT lightpipe as well as stereo SPDIF inputs and outputs. Perfectly suited to multi channel surround production as well as standard stereo mixing, the FW 1884 provides eight analog outputs for simultaneous connection to LR and 5.1 surround matrices. A headphone output is also provided. Four MIDI inputs and four MIDI outputs on the FW 1884 allow users to connect with a wide variety of MIDI sound generation and timing tools. Its Word Clock in and out jacks allow computer systems to maintain accurate clock synchronization in digital recording environments. Also, its assignable footswitch jack can be used for tasks such as hands free punching or MIDI control. In use, the FW 1884 allows up to 18 audio inputs to be accessed at once. As a DAW controller, the FW 1884 is compatible with a wide variety of popular applications including MOTU Digital Performer, Emagic Logic, Steinberg Cubase SX, Steinberg Nuendo, and Cakewalk Sonar.
